The National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center (NHOTIC), with thanks to the James and Marion Miller Foundation, will host an “Oregon Folklife Residency,” a 7-month partnership with the Oregon Folklife Network.

Crossroads Carnegie Art Center, the friends organization for NHOTIC, reached out to the Oregon Folklife Network to develop a plan to bring Oregon Cultural Keepers to Eastern Oregon to share their traditions in 2026 as part of the Oregon 250 Celebrations.

From June 18 to June 20, NHOTIC welcomes H’Klumaiyat-Roberta Kirk, Tenino and Wasq’u regalia maker, food gatherer, bead and dentalium work from Warm Springs. She is a designated food gatherer for the Simnasho Longhouse in Warm Springs, runs sweats, serves as archives and museum collections manager for the Museum at Warm Springs, and has consulted for museums on Native American objects and belongings.
